Fishing Reports

Fishing on Pend Oreille has been tough latley.  Not many fish are being caught right now trolling...and there is hardly any ice on the big lake right now, so ice fishing is also tough.  The Clark Fork River and tribs have been producing some fish...but not many.  The lake temp was around 38 degrees yesterday.  At least is was a beautiful day to be on the water.

K&K Derby Standings.  Fishing has been a little tough, but there are some fish out there being caught.

Trolling for large rainbow on Lake Pend Oreille has be excellent latley.  The big fish are up on top and they are eating kokanee.  Trolling flies on planer boards has been the top producer.  There are also some fish showing up in the tribs and can be caught on fly gear.   Orange, Red, Pink, Green and Brown trolling flies have all been working well.  This time of year the kokanee begin to change color to a orange/red....so anything close to that should work.  Trolling 2.0-2.8 mph is the chosen speed.  Good luck out there.  So far there have been several double digit fish caught.

Lake Pend Oreille and the Pend Oreille River have been fishing great.  Largemouth and Smallmouth Bass fishing has been picking up as things stabilize.

Walleye fishing has taken off huge this year!!!  Some fish over 10lbs have already been caught and double digit numbers of fish have been caught.  It looks like the walleye fishery will finally take hold in Pend Oreille and people are very excited.
